Learning might actually be better virtually than in person given the current situation -- there is a crazy amount of teacher / substitute teacher shortage (staffing issue) due to them being out because of exposure / symptoms. Plus kids constantly being out for the same reason leads to a lot of disruption within in-person education.
I think part of what contributes is that the city is still using the 10-day quarantine guideline instead of the updated shorter one from the CDC?
Still it seems to have been handled rather poorly but, easy for me to judge from the outside... must be hectic internally especially since it was just the holiday season.
- eggy 5y agoVirtual doesn't work the way they have implemented it. If the same problems exist that you list: "teacher/substitute teacher shortage (staffing issue)" they don't assign, permit, and administer the virtual classes and assignments for the same reasons. The few teachers who are out ill, and try to do so, are fewer than you think. At least here in NY.
